First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A semiconductor structure, comprising: a carrier substrate; a trap-rich layer, disposed on the carrier substrate; a dielectric layer, disposed on the trap-rich layer; an interconnect structure, disposed on the dielectric layer; a device structure layer, disposed on the interconnect structure and electrically connected to the interconnect structure; and a circuit structure, disposed on the device structure layer and electrically connected to the device structure layer, wherein the interconnect structure is not in contact with the trap-rich layer, and the interconnect structure is located between the dielectric layer and the device structure layer. 2. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 , wherein the trap-rich layer comprises a polysilicon layer, an amorphous silicon layer, a silicon nitride layer, a silicon carbon nitride layer or a combination thereof. 3. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the trap-rich layer is between 3000 Å and 20000 Å. 4. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 , wherein the dielectric layer comprises an oxide silicon layer. 5. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the dielectric layer is between 2000 Å and 8000 Å. 6. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 , wherein the carrier substrate comprises a silicon substrate.
